Firmware version 1.12 also adds the ability to download/load weekly timer settings using a USB
Memory device (sold separately). This feature provides a method to program multiple players with the
same timer settings quickly.
The firmware update is free and relatively simple to install. It consists of an ISO file burned to a
recordable CD disc. Insert the disc into the player then follow the on-screen prompts.
If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the process please refer to the following section for step-
